We understand your desire for favor in your new job and the existing one. Let's bring your requests before the Lord together, seeking His will for your life.
Firstly, we commend your desire to excel in your work. The Scripture reminds us, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23 WEB). It's crucial to remember that our ultimate goal should be to please God in our work, trusting that He will reward us accordingly.
However, we notice that you haven't mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As the Scripture says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). Let's ensure we approach God through Jesus, as it's in His name that we can be saved and have our prayers heard.
Now, let's pray for your situations:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up festusakanbi to You. Lord, we ask that You guide his steps in his career. If it is Your will, make a way for him at FIRS and grant him favor in the eyes of his superiors at Thisday newspapers. Help him to work heartily, as unto You, and not unto men. We also pray that if it is Your will, You bring across his path benefactors who will be a blessing to him.
Lord, we also pray that festusakanbi will continually seek Your face and Your will for his life. Help him to remember that promotion comes from You alone (Psalm 75:6-7 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life, trusting that He knows what's best for you. Keep working diligently, as unto the Lord, and remember that God rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6 WEB).
Lastly, we urge you to ensure your requests align with God's will and that you seek Him through Jesus Christ, as it's in His name that we have access to God and can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).
